Take a Hike!: Kawaii Illustration

Take a hike!
...

...

Salut, mes amis!

This is a quick cute illustration that started while I was doing an object study session and drew a hiking boot, which led to me draw a kitten too (because, why not). Drawing the boot at the back took longer than I thought but I'm quite happy with my color selection as well the shadows and lights I got to choose.

My only critique would be that I need to get better at drawing animals and practice drawing quicker digitally. Oh, and I used the program 'Krita' to draw this. Though there are some minor issues with this free painting program but I've found that it's far ahead of Photoshop as a paint program (yeah, I know). Maybe I'll tell you why some other time.

Let me know what you thought of this in the comments below. :)

I hope you like it.

Thanks again for watching! :)

xoxo

P.S. It went from this:



To this, so...high five!

Drawing a Mermaid from an Aerial View (get it? Ariel *nudge*)

Image
TWIRLING Mixing the colors of the ocean ... ... Hi, When you think of mermaids, your first thought is of Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid. I thought it would be fun to draw a mermaid for an aerial view (aerial...you know, like, Ariel but like...get it? Huh huh? *nudge nudge*) It is the month of May and as with all kinds of seasonal trends, the MerMay challenge is upon us. What is the MerMay Challenge? Well, it's a month-long daily challenge where you draw a mermaid or a merman, a mer-person every day for 31 days. This watercolor illustration is my one and only entry to the MerMay challenge. ... ... Materials I used the Spring set of five colors from Akashiya Sai Watercolor Brush Pens And, I also used the Marvy Uchida Black Brush Pen no. 4600. Does that mean they have 4599 other shades of black before it? *giggle* I used only six colors to make this. The colors I used are: Pink, Madder, Yellow Ochre, Pale Orange, Green Blue, and Black.

Lines: Ink on Brown Paper - Inktober Day 8

Image
LINES Lines are straight, curved, sometimes crooked, edgy, wavy...they often lead back to themselves and join together to form shapes. No matter what, they are always connecting dots to reveal a beautiful larger world. ... ... Hello, I am running a day behind in this 31-day daily art challenge but I plan to catch up soon. Today's artwork is a kinda remake of some floor art I had done years ago. So, every year, I do traditional Indian floor art called Alpana, Muggu or Rangoli, depending on which part of India you ask. In case you are not aware, most households in India have some form of floor art in lieu of a welcome mat. Unlike a welcome mat however, this artwork is washed away and drawn differently every day using rice flour or in today's world, chalk. It's typically large enough to cover your whole patio or at least the walkway to your front door. They can range from being complex geometric patterns with detailed mathematical calculations forming optical i...
